Many times there is a need for efficient point-to-point communications
initiated before other applications arise. What kind of
solutions can grow with our needs?
The TAC series can act as an intelligent
multiplexer for point-to-point communications but also provides
more sophisticated multi-service solutions when applications
support grows.
|
|

|
|
What are some of the supported TAC applications?
Applications include:
|
|
|
Command and control communications
|
|
|
Broadband point-to-point intelligent multiplexing
|
|
|
Low speed data (base band) concentration
|
|
|
Remote site communication with satellites
|
|
|
DoD Teleport and hub applications
|
|
|
Optimizing throughput on minimal transport
bandwidth
|
|
For hub operations, DNE's larger TAC-900 Multi-Service Access
concentrator offers up to 54 user ports, with switching capability
and power redundancy. DNE’s smaller TAC-300 unit, offering
up to 18 user interfaces, can be used for concentration of
remote communications.
DNE offers the only interfaces in the industry
that will pass Secure Communications at its native data rates,
saving precious bandwidth for additional traffic.
DNE also preserves the interoperability
between older legacy equipment by offering the widest range
of serial data rates of any manufacturer, ranging from the
slowest modem up to optical speeds.

What types of interfaces do you have on the TAC?
TAC chassis have the capability to be configured
with a wide variety of interface options. For maximum WAN
connection flexibility: Serial ATM, DS1 ATM, DS3 ATM, E1 ATM,
OC-3C/STM-1 (Single-mode & Multimode).
For multiple user interface support: DS1 ATM, DS3 ATM, OC-3C/STM-1
(Single-mode & Multi-mode), DS1 Circuit Emulation, E1
ATM, Ethernet 10/100 Base-T, E1 Circuit Emulation, Universal
Framed Services, DS1 Standard (non-secure) voice compression,
E1 Standard (non-secure) voice compression, Analog Standard
FXS (non- secure) voice compression.

DNE supports ATM protocols. Do you support IP?
Integrated IP interfaces are inherent in
the TAC series. They efficiently transport IP traffic along
with ATM and adaptive services.
ATM is a mature capable technology with
standardized, designed-in Quality of Service, which accomplishes
a great deal for most applications. It should be implemented
now. If the overall market evolves to an IP network sometime
in the future, ATM will continue to play a strong role in
the access arena.
Next generation products will be protocol
agnostic. DNE product roadmaps will address these requirements
with new future product enhancements.

Our satellite bandwidth has been reduced again. How can we
use it efficiently?
DNE provides efficient bandwidth support
for broadband and base band networks.
Outstanding voice compression technology allows the most efficient use of bandwidth, when, combined with additional features such as Qos and Dynamic Bandwidth allocation, can reduce the amount of bandwidth needed by as much as 50%. This, in turn, frees up additional bandwidth for more applications.
The TAC’s dynamic bandwidth allocation capability supports
more applications in an effective manner. Voice traffic is
managed dynamically, trading off voice bandwidth with IP and
other services by utilizing modern DSP and AAL2 technology.
Real time video is also managed this way, thus ensuring that
quality video always gets through while addressing its bursty
bandwidth requirements only when needed.

What can be done to reduce the bandwidth secure calls take
up?
Toll-quality voice is provided through
the TAC’s unique combination of a secure compressed voice
interface and modern AAL2 voice technology while keeping to
an absolute minimum, the impact of secure calls on voice circuit
density.
Bandwidth is not locked up, it is dynamically allocated and used only when when needed. Secure telephony, and processing of communications can be delivered utilizing minimum bandwidth, thereby saving it for other services.
Special DoD-focused interfaces are available that are designed
for unique security and bandwidth requirements.

I have to support OC-3 and narrowband circuits in the same
box – with QoS. How can I run new IP voice applications
and legacy unstructured serial traffic at the same time?
Flexibility is the TAC products' middle
name. They support a wide rate range (narrowband 1.2kbps,
to broadband 155Mbps OC-3) in the same chassis.
Full QoS support means consistent, high quality voice and
video.
Unstructured serial data can be used on narrowband circuits-even
satellite service.
QoS parameters guarantee efficient coexistence of legacy serial
and voice services with video and new IP services (like VoIP),
while using the absolute minimal network or satellite bandwidth.

Are you interoperable with other vendors' products/protocols?
DNE is a Principal Member of ATM Forum,
and our TAC product line is compliant with UNI 3.0, 3.1, IISP
3.0, IISP 3.1.
|

|
|
Do you support mobile operations?
Yes. DNE products act as components to
communication solutions that can be rapidly deployed. Connection
and extension of communication capabilities can be accomplished
with DNE components between central sites and remote locations
via landline, satellite, microwave and video. A disaster recovery
team can set up a private network and use services available
through any telco to pass data to and from various central
sites. With a small form factor they are easily transportable.

|
|
What types of traffic do you support?
DNE provides integration of various protocols
and traffic types including IP, secure voice, video, legacy,
and serial traffic into both narrowband and broadband networks.
|

|
|
Can you integrate military signaling and commercial communications?
DNE has a thorough understanding in this
area. Thousands of DNE's NRZ/CDI/Optical protocol converters
have been installed since their introduction in 1999. Recent
improvements to this product line include an increase in data
rates up to 8.448Mbps, new fiber-optic connectivity, and a
broader range of data rates (up to 50) for greater interoperability
with an installed equipment base.
